Police in Lawrence, Mass., said they located Andrew Dufresne, 42, and began pursuit of his vehicle Friday afternoon.

The chase ended when Dufresne's car struck a tree on Riverside Drive in Methuen, police said.

Wednesday's robbery was reported at People's United Bank on Elm Street in Manchester before 9 a.m.

Officers said Dufresne entered the bank and handed the teller a note demanding cash. He kept his hand in his pocket indicating that he might have a weapon, but no weapon was shown.

"The teller reported that he really didn't speak at all," said Lt. Maureen Tessier, regarding Wednesday's robbery. "He walked into the bank, retrieved a deposit slip on which he wrote the note, and then when he met with her, he handed her the note, which indicated he wanted cash."
